Through adept, it throws an error message stating:
*** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/perl terminated
and then a error message above.

I can confirm this, but in my computer i had this problem only with linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic

[Marcelo Atie (marceloatie)]

i think that it's occurs because the files was already removed but the package still are in the list of installed software,
so i copied some files to file system to substitute the real files

i will put my solution where

[like root]
it's only to create the file
#echo "nada" > /boot/System.map-2.6.22-10-generic

The attachment in this post is the files of the package "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-13-generic_2.6.22-13.33_i386.deb" changed to be similar to "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic*"

Download, stract this,and run:
$cd data
$sudo cp -a * /

and now, you can remove the package !
$sudo apt-get install -f

it's worked well for me,
i hope help some one to a day fix it,

Marcelo: Your solution posted (and attached file) allowed me to remove linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-10-generic
I sure as heck did not want to reinstall Ubuntu as I already spent hours getting my Tablet features (right-click button on Wacom, autorotate, etc, etc) to work. And I need to install more packages. I am now saved. Thanks.
